Short-lived British art-rock project led by Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno, best known for the live album '801 Live' (1976) and the studio work 'Listen Now' (1977).

Formed by Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno in 1976; live lineup and contributors mentioned in reviews include Bill MacCormick, Francis Monkman, Lloyd Watson and Simon Phillips. Released '801 Live' (1976) and 'Listen Now' (1977).

Two DeBaser reviews praise 801's tight musicianship and adventurous blend of prog, art-rock, jazz and funk. '801 Live' is described as a classic live document that highlights Eno, Manzanera and an outstanding rhythm section. 'Listen Now' is noted for sophisticated pop-rock arrangements and notable guest musicians.

For:Fans of 1970s progressive/art rock, listeners of Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera, and collectors of live recordings.

 A classic not only of prog, a genre it is closely tied to by many affinities, but also of Rock in general, an album that should not be missing from any discography.

 Ultimately "Listen Now" is a romantic and progressive record, but already launched beyond the '70s.
